Ninja's Luxe Cafe espresso machine stands out for making espresso, lattes, cold brew, and even drip coffee with very little effort, and the automatic milk steaming and self-cleaning frother are major highlights. The machine is easy to use, easy to clean, and can produce rich, aromatic drinks that rival cafe runs. Refurbished and Costco versions often arrive looking brand new, sometimes with the ES655CO model and extra drink options. The main cautions are the 90-day warranty, occasional missing single-shot accessories, and some reports of clunky workflow, weak larger drip pours, or rare defects. It is a strong fit if you want an all-in-one coffee setup and can live with the refurb tradeoffs.
Common Questions (5)
It can be a strong buy for daily espresso and latte use: owners report easy operation, good espresso, self-cleaning frother performance, and long-term reliability. Several say it pays for itself by replacing coffee shop drinks, though the drip mode is weaker than the espresso side.
Many buyers receive the Costco ES655CO version even though the listing says ES601. The unit and box may show different model numbers, and the ES655CO adds a single-shot basket option plus an extra froth setting.
It often arrives looking brand new, with factory tape, sealed accessories, and only minor signs of reconditioning such as a small mark, tiny coffee dust, or a re-stickered serial number. Some units are not in the original box, but the machine itself can appear unused.
A 90-day limited warranty is commonly mentioned for the refurb, and some buyers recommend adding an extended plan because repair parts can be hard to source if the main board or heating system fails. Others note that Ninja or a retailer warranty can be valuable if you can get it on a new unit.
The ES601/Costco ES655CO refurb often arrives with only the double and quad baskets, not the single-shot accessory. The machine's software can support a single cup, and the accessory can be bought separately if needed.

Haven't seen anyone report that they received the single shot accessory even on the costco version. Thankfully if your machine supports it (and you find yourself wanting it) its only like $10 3rd party.
If my replacement isn't the 655 then I'll wait for the 701 to come back in stock
